Description
This 1989 Bunnahabhain from Gordon & MacPhail's Connoisseurs Choice series aged for 34 years in a refill hogshead, bottled at 47.3% without any smoke character. The nose reveals sticky toffee, vanilla custard, and honeysuckle alongside fresher notes of green apple and pineapple, finishing with roasted peanuts that suggest complexity beyond the unpeated spirit itself. The palate develops gently with orchard fruit and confectionery notes underpinned by the delicate wood integration of a refill cask. A refined option for those drawn to Bunnahabhain's softer, fruitier side.
